Seaside Resort Holiday

Tamsyn curled comfortably into Kane's chest as his embrace wrapped her up in his familiar warmth, relaxing into him with a contented sigh. More and more his presence alone felt like home and whenever she was with him it felt like she could escape from the world. That feeling was even more pronounced in their little island get away with the breeze gently swaying the sheer curtains that hung around their bed. She couldn't help the wide smile that pulled at her lips as he nuzzled and kissed the top of her head, lifting her mint gaze to his as he pulled her muzzle up to his. She returned that gentle kiss with a soft murr, looking at him with an appreciation and adoration that she didn't really think she could properly explain.

She chuckled softly and gave him a look that silently said "you silly man" when he told her that this was the least he could do for giving him a new lease on life. She wondered if he really understood how he had saved her from herself. She had kept herself alive after Resin's death for her children, but he had brought life back into her heart and pulled her out of a depression that even her children could scarcely touch. Without him she had no doubt that everything that had happened with Sirius would have finally broken the last of her resolve, but he had been there to keep herself from doing something stupid and put the pieces of herself that she had left back together so effortlessly. She was the one that should be thanking him.

Tamsyn leaned into his paw as his claws traced her cheek and the scars that cut across the skin there, looking at him lovingly as her much smaller paw came to rest over his on her cheek as she leaned her head into his paw pads. She gave him a bashful smile at his compliment, glancing away from him for a moment. She had never really believed that she was that beautiful, even back before she was scarred and tattered from this life she had been placed into. She had begun to grow her confidence with Resin. The markings around her eyes appeared and gave her otherwise plain appearance some sort of interest, all of the time she spent on her training helping to tone her muscles and emphasize the natural curves of her body. Resin's love and attention helped her flourish, but once that was gone and once these scars tore through one of her rare markings most of that confidence had evaporated. But just like everything else, Kane seemed to know exactly what she needed and craved and made her feel beautiful even when it felt impossible. He made her speechless with the affection and care he showed her that she didn't feel like she deserved, but was grateful for anyway.

Unable to find words to express how she was feeling, she gave up trying and relied on her affections to speak for her instead. She let go of his paw just so she could slip her paws around his neck, pressing her lips to his once more. Her kisses were tender and slow at first, but each kiss that followed was a little firmer, a little more passionate, a little more insistent. Her eyes closed as she kissed him, easily getting lost in the feeling of his lips on hers. He made her feel like she was far younger than she actually was and made her feel like she was making up for all the years that she missed this kind of constant attraction. She knew she had fallen for him and fallen for him hard, but there was also just a physical attraction and enjoyment that she felt like she hadn't gotten to fully enjoy before him. It wasn't something she had really known that she wanted and that made her wonder how much of this lust that she always felt for him was because of how she felt for this man and how much of it was just the freedom he had offered her to enjoy all of this as much as she wanted.
